With just one week to go until President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin convene in Helsinki, new reporting is showing that Trump's 'deal' with North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un may have already worn thin.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was in North Korea, last week, and came out of the talks with positive sentiments, asserting that they were 'detailed and substantive.'

However, representatives from North Korea called the United States' attitude at this most recent round of talks 'regrettable,' and dismissed the progress proclaimed by the Trump Administration.

Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani is back in the spotlight, setting new terms for President Trump's ever-elusive interview with Robert Mueller.

We have that and the latest updates on the President's Supreme Court pick with Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) joining the panel, this morning.

It's Monday, July 9, 2018. Welcome to Morning Joe.
